I found a few problems on my system (Lenny/testing) after I replaced fam
with gamin:



  1.   Menus in OO.org took many seconds to open -- at least 15, perhaps
20.  This was extremely irritating and made OO.org a pain to use.

  
  2.   The GNOME trash applet no longer updated to show when there were
items in the trash.  I could no longer empty the trash from the panel.
Not such a big deal, but I typically have most windows on most desktops
maximized so I don't usually make use of any icons on the desktop.  So I
found it convenient to empty the trash from the panel.

  
  3.   Nautilus was considerably slower to respond to any attempts to open
a new window.  The problem wasn't as severe as the problem with OO.org




Restoring fam and removing gamin put things back to normal.  But the
reason I installed gamin in the first place is that exaile requires it,
so in the end I decided to remove a lot of GNOME and am using Openbox
instead.  OO.org works fine with gamin, as long as you aren't using it
under GNOME.  If you use it under GNOME, it appears you need fam, or
will face some major irritation.  I still use the GNOME panel, mainly
because I love Tomboy and find a few other features of that panel
appealing, but I no longer use the Trash applet nor the trash bin at
all.  I'm no longer using Nautilus, though it is still installed.  I can
get by pretty well with mc and the command line.


Do you need help?X

So much for Linux "just working."  When they tell you Linux is "about
choice," they often forget to mention that you'll find your choices
restricted by packages and apps that do not play as well together as
they are supposed to.  GNOME is a really nice DE, but I am sick and
tired of my choices being restricted by using it.

Hey,

I know this is a silly question, but still, how doi install audio 
codecs?Everything i can find google-ing is instructions to install 
Automatix which i don't want. I know that libxine-extracodecs is one 
package but it is not in the repos... So do i need to add an extra repo 
or what do i have to do to be able to play music?

Do you use Ubuntu or do you use Debian?

(Even if you use Debian, you'll still have to use a repository
similar to Automatix.)

Hello again,

I got it after google-ing a little bit more. All i had to do was to 
install these 3 packages: alsa-base, alsa-utils and libesd-alsa0 and run 
the alsaconf command. I forgot to mention that i did a netinstall so 
those packages were logically not installed by default. Anyway, thanks 
for waisting your time with me :) !

Hi Jeff, sorry for the delay in responding....

>Are the errors with the server reported through synaptic or when you
>try to start the server?

Both.

It began with me firing up mysql-navigator... it started OK and showed
the option to connect to the localhost -  but when I tried to connect to
the db it reported:

Cannot connect to local MySQL server through socket
'/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock'[2]

So I, somewhat simplistically, presumed that one of the many dozens of
updates that ran after my period away from my desk had screwed-up MySQL.
Because this is a relatively new machine with only small volumes of 
data in the databases (which I could reconstruct if 'push came to
shove') I decided to simply reinstall MySQL.

The client seems to install OK using Synaptic but when it gets to the
server Synaptic baulks and reports :-

E:mysql-server-5.0: sub-process post-installation script returned error
exit status 1
E: mysql server: dependency problems - leaving unconfigured


My biggest problem is that I am still unfamiliar with where all the logs
and programmes are maintained/held in Linux, so my investigations tend
to consist of repeatedly lurching from one wild idea to the next in the
forlorn hope of gathering a clue as to the root of the problem (rather
than having the detail knowledge necessary for any systematic probing
and fault identification). Therefore any help/advice is gratefully
received.

Not a waste, but an accurate question is always useful.  But then,
who hasn't been in a position where they don't even know what to ask?

In those cases, it's *always* best to describe symptoms instead of
jumping to a conclusion.

BTW, top-posting is considered rude.

Not all directories in TEXMF use the ls-R files.  Look for TEXMFDBS in the 
(debian generated) texmf.cnf file.  By default, only the entries in TEXMF 
that have the "!!" (use only ls-R) prefix are used for TEXMFDBS.

You can add TEXMFHOME to the TEXMFDBS list in the source configuration 
file and regenerate texmf.cnf.

Are you sure you need this? Unless your $HOMETEXMF is on a network server 
or you have lots of files there, the overhead of ls-R searches probably 
exceeds the cost of direct filesystem searches.

Hello,

1) Are more available?
2) From where?
3) How do install them?

Before we can answer that, you must tell us how many screen saver
packages do you already have installed.

Hello,

I used the following command to record audio from a live performance
using the  M2496 [M Audio Audiophile 24/96] card:
$> arecord -D plug:hw:1 --duration=600 --file-type au  --format=dat
--nonblock recording-arecord.au

Then I transfered the au file to my home computer and opened it in
audacity. When I playback the file, it appears to be being played back
at a slightly faster rate.

I also tried to encode the original au file to a flac file first, before
transfering the file, using this command:
$>  flac  -f --endian=big --channels=2 --sample-rate=48000 --bps=16
--sign=signed  recording-arecord.au

Then I imported that flac file in to audacity on my home computer. It
plays back the same as as the original au file -- seems a tiny bit faster.

What could be the problem? Or, anyway to make the file a bit slower so
that it plays okay?

thanks,
->HS
